mysql retention for realtime

Topics about the Beta trials up to Build 3043, the last build by Cumulus's founder Steve Loft. It was by this time way out of Beta but Steve wanted to keep it that way until he made a decision on his and Cumulus's future.

Beau, I think you need to give us a bit more context.

If you mean the retention setting in MX, then you just specify the interval value. My instructions do give examples, and one of them is 1 WEEK.
The realtime.txt upload has an optional 'retention' setting, which will cause entries older than the value specified to be deleted from the database after each upload. It should be specified as a MySQL 'interval', e.g. 24 HOUR or 1 DAY or 1 WEEK etc.
If you don't mean that setting, then as Mark says, more context required.

I should have been a bit clearer I was ask about retention setting in MX
I read
